"DO NOT FIGHT IN HERE!"


In the dark lair of the cunning Emperor Dalek, a civil war has started amongst his race, in this terrific image captured on a stage at Ealing Studios for the conclusion to The Evil of the Daleks, a masterpiece from the Patrick Troughton era surviving only by one singular episode at this time yet soon likely to be animated fully over the next few years by BBC Worldwide. We can but hope that the animation is at best on a par with the re-done The Power of the Daleks, or at least a cut above the mildly disappointing work done with the recent Fury from the Deep.

I remember first seeing this atmospheric image published in Gary Levy's ego-driven mega-rant (but always highly readable) DWB, circa late 1984. 

A link below to an article from Starburst magazine on the state of Missing Episodes post 2013 - the piece is a few years old now but still has continuing relevancy in some areas.
